[Bug 1088136] Re: AUTH cannot handle a request with an initial-response over 2048 bytes (GSSAPI-related)

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time prepare this patch and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

There are just a few things we need to do in order to get this fix ready
for sponsoring and then for the stable release team to approve. Please
note that I'm making these comments as a bug triager only. I cannot
sponsor this package, but this might save you some time getting this
patch through the sponsorship queue. Most of these are requirements from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Can you please confirm that this bug is definitely fixed in the current
development release (Raring)? This needs to be done first, and then this
bug needs to be marked Fix Released with a task added for Precise.

The test case needs to allow someone who is not familiar with the
affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated
package fixes the problem. This requirement is from SRU policy. I don't
think your test case is detailed enough for me, and I am familiar with
GSSAPI (via Kerberos)! Please could you provide sufficient detail in
your test case?

The changelog should detail exactly what is being fixed, rather than
just referring to the upstream bug.

The version number in the changelog should be 4.76-3ubuntu3.2 rather
than 4.76-3ubuntu3.1+bug1088136, and targeted at precise-proposed rather
than precise. I'm sure a sponsor would make these minor changes for you,
but you might want to be aware of this and/or correct it.

It's great that you have DEP-3 headers in the patch. It could help
though if you added a Bug-Ubuntu header that points to this bug.

Once you're happy, please subscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors to this bug to make
sure it makes it in the sponsorship queue. ~ubuntu-sru will need to be
subscribed to approve the upload, but it is a sponsor who will actually
need to do the upload itself.

Thanks again for your help!
